On A Misty Road
By Jack Horne and Sandra Stefanowich
It's raining and I'm soaking wet,
the water's rolling down my cheeks;
my face is wet with tears - my friend
is missing and it feels like weeks.
Tears run like a river with no end
mile markers of time slipping away
distance; the silent killer in the night
wondering if there was another way
As bitterness and anger die,
let raindrops wash all ills away,
I promise after heavy rain,
the sun will shine again today.
I see your hand reach out for mine
your love; as warm as the sun's rays
your promise is all I can hope for
as I find my way through the misty haze.
You guys! Just keep getting better and better! This collaborative thing fits y'all to a "T" and it really shows in this clever merging of brain cells! Keep them coming! Sheri / www.poetryand beyond.net
ReplyDeleteDear Jack and Sandra,
ReplyDeleteI love the way you stay in sync throughout the poem, but am even more impressed by the change from sorrow to hope. You did a wonderful job, my friends. You both "rock" together in a special way! Love you, Carolyn
Thank you, Carolyn, we both love you too, my friend.
DeleteWow, this is lovely on so many levels, the imagery, the message and the rhyming. Well done you two. I agree with everyone else, you two just keep getting better!
